 It's hard to detect by your dialect and skin tone, where your from.

Are you from America or a distant land, if you hear me, can you understand. I am puzzled by the picture I see, in living color, standing before me.

Are you mixed or are you whole, if I should be so bold.

Where do you come from, and of what nationality? It really doesn't matter, nor does it bother me!

Somehow I find that unbelievable, since you could not embrace, whom you heard and whom you saw. Oh excuse me, yes I can comprehend. Yes I can articulate, and most certainly understand.

Let me introduce Myself, I am a HUMANBEING, and where I come from,that information you won't receive from me.

It appears your small minded, and have only one thought,

to attempt to pull me down, by the image you saw.

I am human, I speak seven languages, if I please. Yet more importantly, you are You, and I AM ME!

Look a little closer and I hope you too can see,

although I may look different, I deserve to be treated,

with the utmost form of dignity!

So next time you see me,

perhaps start off with a simple hello, and with a little tact

forthcoming. I might inform you with all you need to know!!!

Labels are Labels, and No Label is the same,all come from

varies origins and all bare their own name. So never think

I am this, when I could be something other, haven't you had

any proper home training, from your father or mother.

Most introductions begin with hello, beyond that formality

like you, my ignorance will show!!!!
